EXCLUSIVE: Sarah Himadeh (The Last of Us), Katya Martín (Promised Land), Matthew Taylor Zuniga (The Next Shift), and newcomer Shayan Hooshmand have signed on to star in Windows, an indie drama from filmmaker Andre Fuad Degas.
Currently in production, the film follows Nadene (Himadeh), a once-celebrated Syrian poet now working as a maid in New York, whose quiet life unravels when she agrees to let the FBI use her apartment window for surveillance, led by agent Emily Santiago (Martín). As her teenage son Zeezo (Hooshmand) is revealed to be involved with the very criminals being watched, Nadene is thrust into a moral and emotional crisis. Torn between survival, motherhood, and the desire for freedom, she embarks on a dangerous journey that blurs the lines between justice and self-sacrifice.
The film’s cast also includes David Mckittrick (Hungry Ghosts) and Iliana Guibert (Yellow Lines). Jodi Lahaye (Kitchen) is producing, alongside Eloïse Descleves (This Must Be the Place) and Nubia Films, with the support of New York State Council on the Arts.
